The Lunchbox (film)

Place : AS2026, Grenfell Campus

Time : 19:00

Contact : iemke@grenfell.mun.ca

Details : It has been said that “the wrong train can still get you to the right station.” In the case of Film From Away’s next movie, it is more like “the wrong lunchbox can still get you to the right person.” Maybe. Maybe not. No spoilers here. We’re pleased to present the highly celebrated movie, made in the very lively and vibrant city of Mumbai, called “the Lunchbox.” It revolves around a neglected housewife, who prepares lunches for office workers (which are delivered by Dabbawalas – professional lunchbox drivers, if you will), and a widower nearing retirement. The daily ritual of the lunchbox, and the notes and food exchanged, brings them together. We warn you that three things will happen if you attend: (i) you will be enchanted by this film; (ii) you will leave the theatre hungry; and (iii) you will begin to lobby that we get our own Dabbawala service in Corner Brook!
All are welcome.
